What Are Fire Retardant Noticeboards and Why Do Schools Need Them?

by Paul Howe

Fire retardant noticeboards, sometimes referred to as flame resistant noticeboards, must be used in various locations to ensure fire safety in schools, workplaces, and fire escape routes. Specifically, corridors, stairways, kitchens, workshops, laboratories, fire escape routes and public areas are among the spaces where fire retardant noticeboards are legally required.

This is not guidance. It is law. All public buildings, including schools and universities, fall under the requirements of the Buildings and Fire Precautions Legislation and must therefore meet stringent standards relating to the use of fire doors, fire compartmentation and appropriate fire-resistant building materials within the building.

Despite this, a significant number of noticeboards currently displayed in UK school corridors do not carry valid, independently verified certification. For any education procurement professional, that represents a serious compliance risk and in the event of a fire, a potentially devastating one.

Our Solution?

The Adboards Eco-Sound Blazemaster range. It is consistently one of the most specified - across primary schools, secondary schools, sixth form colleges, further education colleges, and universities throughout the UK. This range is hugely popular across Britain, being supplied to colleges, schools, private offices, public spaces, universities, and student accommodation for a straightforward reason: it resolves multiple procurement requirements in a single, certified product.

Fire compliance. Acoustic performance. Display security. Sustainability. Durability. The Eco-Sound range delivers all five - backed by independently verified certification that stands up to any audit or fire safety inspection.

For education procurement professionals evaluating total value rather than unit price, the Eco-Sound Blazemaster range represents exactly that: a specification that does more, costs less to manage, and never puts your institution at risk. 

The Adboards Eco-Sound Blazemaster range is available through School Notice Boards. Explore the full range at Fire Retardant Noticeboards – School Notice Boards
